Black and White Tegus in Canada

I hope this is posted in the right spot..

But I was just wondering if there is anyone from Canada (more specifically Ontario) that knows of any Black and White Tegu breeders. The only place I can find them is at the local Pet Value and I would prefer to avoid those stores. At this rate I don't know if I will ever get a Tegu :cry:

Don't worry, there are plenty of tegu's in Ontario. I happen to own two! I recommend checking out <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.reptilescanada.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.reptilescanada.com</a><!-- w --> . Join and check out the classifieds, there seems to be a big boom for tegus lately. There has been 5 tegus for sale on there ranging from Jan 5th to Feb 24th. Now whether they are still for sale or not is a guess to me. You can also check out <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ReptileKings.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.ReptileKings.com</a><!-- w --> , just shoot Sam an email about tegus and he can get them in. They are a bit pricier ($240) then some other people but I trust Sam a lot and can't see him selling poor quality animals. I've never bought a animal from him but he is a great guy to talk with.

Trust me, there are plenty of places to buy tegus from I just don't think there are any breeders in Canada.

I have the same problem, I live in Newfoundland and the only place I know of to get a Tegu is a pet store.
Thanks for that info Spencer

I live in Aurora, Ontario Canada.
I got my Tegu from a breeder at the Mississauga Reptile Expo.
There's also ReptileKings.com that someone up there already recommended and Captiveherps.com

Also, if you look on Kijiji.ca under "Other pets for sale", you can usually find some Tegus that people don't want. (normally at a small size, too.)

Thank you :)

actually I was going to go to the Mississauga Reptile Expo, but I ended up going to the Sudburry one instead. They only had two Tegus there. Both Argentine Black and White, both $225...

But I ended up getting a Columbian for $80 off of Kijiji from a women who was very scared of him (He was a tad bit bigger than her bearded dragon :p). But he's a sweeheart and is actually very tame. Only later to find out that there is a guy in Orillia who sells Black and White Argentines for $79 :doh

Thats not like Sam to not email you back. Try emailing him again, it might have ended up in his junk/spam folder somehow. Counting all the emails I've had with Sam the longest I needed to wait was one day for a reply.

Also Sam ships worldwide so I can't see him not being able to ship NFL

I acquired mine at an exotic reptile expo in my city. :) They had two Tegus there. A male Argentine, and a female Argentine, when I got there at the end of the day, the female was only left so I snagged her.

If you live close to Hamilton Ontario, there is a store in the down town called The Reptile Store... i know really unique... but they sell EXCELENT reptiles, always top quality. They turn away many animals that will not grow to be healthy big animals.

I live about 4 hours away from Hamilton...I could go there I guess, I did drive 3 hours for the last expo. Maybe next time I'm in Toronto I'll head down. But that is a bit far for DragonQueen I think :p
